deal at knifecenter.com or not?

the following link shows a sog seal pup on sale for 39.95 but it advertises it as being made from aus 8, the picture is of the older style that was made from aus 6. I am thinking of getting one if it is aus 8, but not if it is the older aus 6 blade, as i already have one. Can someone who knows more about them chime in and confirm my suspicions, or help me justify a new purchase,
thanks
